Abstract :
Primary dysmenorrhoea, which affects from 43 to 91% of adolescent girls, is defined as painful uterine cramps that precede and accompany menses. Paediatricians and gynaecologists should thus be more actively involved in the diagnosis of adolescent primary dysmenorrhoea. The present study aimed to assess the stress and coping among adolescent girls during menstrual period. Descriptive research design was used, convenience sampling technique used. Results showed that adolescents girls had (7%) inadequate coping, (76%) moderate coping, (17%) adequate coping during their menstruation and had (4%) mild stress, (17%) moderate stress, (79%) severe stress during their menstruation, there was no significant association between the coping of the subjects and the selected demographic variables. Thus the selected hypothesis (H1) was rejected.
